Freshman Year:
CS 101: Introduction to Programming
Status: Passed
Introduces the fundamental concepts of programming from an object-oriented perspective. Topics include simple data types, control structures (if-else loops, switch statements), introduction to array and string data structures, algorithms, debugging and testing techniques, and social implications of computing. The course emphasizes good software engineering principles and practices, breaking the programming process into analysis, design, implementation, and testing, with primary focus on implementation and development of fundamental programming skills.
Calculus One
Status: Passed
Topics for this first course in calculus include functions, limits, continuity, the derivative, differentiation of algebraic, trigonometric, logarithmic and exponential functions with applications including curve sketching, anti-differentiation and applications of integrals, the Riemann sum, and the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus.
CS 102: Data Structures
Status: Passed
Introduction to concepts of object-oriented programming with review of control structures and data types and array processing. Introduction to the object-oriented programming paradigm, focusing on the definition and use of classes along with the fundamentals of object-oriented design. Overview of programming principles, simple analysis of algorithms, searching and sorting techniques, and an introduction to software engineering issues.
Calculus Two
Status: Passed
Topics for this second course in calculus include techniques of integration, applications of the definite integral, infinite series, Taylor series, polar coordinates, and parametrized curves in the plane.
Fundamentals of Interactive Design
Status: Passed
Principles of design for digital devices. Emphasis is on user interfaces and experiences.
Introduction to Interactive Media
Status: Passed
Tools and aesthetics of media production: word processing, photography, audio production, videography. Visual literacy. The desktop computer interface. Desktop publishing, presentation software, multimedia documents. Internet navigation and page production.
Sophomore Year:
